Ship berthing to a vertical quay-wall: Fender forces and ship motion

In this report a mathematical model is formulated which is sufficiently accurate to describe the typical behaviour of a ship berthing to a vertical quay-wall fitted with fenders as well as to determine the response of the fenders themselves. In order to achieve this a three-dimensional set of governing equations is drawn up by which the lateral...

The berthing ship problem: Forces on berthing structures from moving ships

In this report a mathematical model is formulated which is sufficiently accurate to describe quantitatively and qualitatively the behaviour of a ship berthing to a structure equipped with fenders as well as to determine the response of the fenders themselves. In order to achieve this a set of equations is drawn up by which the (coupled)...
